The stunt was part of a campaign to raise money for Ferrell's Cancer for College fund, and his marathon day as a baseball player was captured by HBO for a new documentary titled Ferrell Takes The Field.

HBO has released a short clip of the project, which is set to premiere on Sept 21, as MLB's regular season enters it final games, and the film seems to have everything a Ferrell fan could want, including nacho beards and a hilarious retirement speech.
